God's Gift

Chapter 17 Fire

Lu Keming tilted his head slightly and glanced at Yu Youyou calmly.

Yu Youyou seemed not to notice anything wrong. She lifted her skirt and followed Shen Minghua and Ye Li away.

Lu Keming stood where he was, watching Yu Youyou avoid her flames.

After a few seconds, he followed as if nothing had happened.

The group quickly returned to the village. Shen Minghua supported Ye Li, whose body was covered in blood, and Yu Youyou also helped drag Fang Ziang back to the farmer's house where they were staying.

Lu Keming stood outside, frowning slightly, stroking the ring on his hand.

What is going on with Yu Youyou?

"Master, was that a fire just now?" Anthony asked Lu Keming in a low voice while holding Godot's hand.

Lu Keming glanced at Anthony and put down his hand.

"The fire is the source of spiritual power. Although it is a human gene mutation that gives the mutated people spiritual power, if you get close to the fire, you will be attacked by it..."

Lu Keming curled the corners of his mouth slightly, with a gloomy and cold light in his eyes.

"The spiritual power that was just absorbed, what else could it be except the fire seed?"

Anthony was excited and said, "That's great. After visiting so many small worlds, I finally encountered the first fire."

"But..." Lu Keming was not as excited as Anthony. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Those grasses and monsters seem to be constantly resurrecting because of the fire. There is no record of such a thing in the data."

Lu Keming stroked the ring, his expression slightly puzzled, "Why?"

The young master has always been knowledgeable and omniscient, and even things that make him unsure instantly give Anthony a heavy sense of responsibility.

"The history of those materials is too long, and a lot of them may have been lost, so it is normal that the records are incomplete. Young Master, don't worry too much."

Lu Keming glanced at Anthony and nodded.

After a few seconds, a look of pride appeared on Anthony's face, but after a while his expression turned sad again.

"But the fire will absorb spiritual energy. How can we get it..."

Lu Keming glanced at Anthony and said lightly.

"I'll just go."

When Anthony heard Lu Keming say he was going, he was surprised at first, but soon hesitated and said:

"Master, although your mental strength is very strong, the fire is too dangerous after all."

"It's okay." Lu Keming's voice was calm and composed from an absolutely strong man, as if the things that worried Anthony were not worth mentioning to him.

He slowly adjusted his sleeves, smoothing out the blue gilt patterns with his thin fingers.

"Master is worthy of being a master!" Anthony clasped his hands together and said admiringly.

Lu Keming had no reaction to Anthony's compliment and turned to walk towards the church.

"By the way, Young Master." Anthony suddenly remembered that Lu Keming asked him to find an opportunity to deal with Yu Youyou.

"Yu Youyou, we still need..." Anthony made a gesture of cutting his neck, "Do you want to deal with it?"

Lu Keming stopped and looked at Anthony.

"I see you had a good chat with her."

Anthony laughed innocently, "She is not like other people without psychic powers. She is very interesting. Don't you think so, Master?"

But he had only been laughing for a few seconds when he noticed the way Lu Keming was staring at him.

Anthony realized Lu Keming's displeasure and quickly made up for it, "It's mainly because Ye Li said that we must cooperate and not harm her team members, otherwise she might not trust us and affect the master's plan."

"It's better because of this." Lu Keming's voice was a little eerie, which made Anthony shudder.

"People without spiritual power will always be dirty, low-class trash."

Lu Keming glared at Anthony.

"When any Blue Dragon member starts to like them, that's when they should quit Blue Dragon."

"I hope to never hear any words of praise for people without psychic powers from any Blue Dragon member again." There was a clear warning in Lu Keming's eyes.

"Keep an eye on her and tell me if there's anything unusual."

"Yes." Anthony responded quickly with chattering teeth.

After Lu Keming left, Anthony took a breath, looked at Godot who was sitting beside him, and whispered:

"The young master has become more and more terrifying in recent years."

Gordo looked up at Anthony.

Anthony shook his head and left the place alive.

-

At the villagers' homes, Shen Minghua and several others injected mental stabilizers, which slowly calmed down the disordered mental energy.

But even after using stabilizers, their mental strength still recovered very slowly.

Just like a dam that has just released floodwaters, it is recovering drop by drop.

"Thank you." Ye Li thought of the thrilling scene before and thanked Shen Minghua.

Shen Minghua shook his head with a gentle expression: "It's okay, this is what I should do."

After saying that, Shen Minghua looked at Yu Youyou again, "Youyou, where is Fang Ziang?"

"He hasn't woken up yet." Yu Youyou looked at the blood on Ye Li's body and her brows were twisted into a knot.

Shen Minghua nodded, turned to Ye Li and said, "Fang Ziang's mental strength level is low. It's normal for him to react stronger than us after being sucked like this. You should have a good rest first and don't worry about him."

He knew that as the captain, Ye Li was always thinking about his teammates.

Ye Li nodded weakly and began to analyze the matter of Hellfire again.

"That fire was beyond our expectations. If it can in turn absorb our spiritual power, it will be very difficult to extinguish it."

"Indeed." Shen Minghua nodded, "If extinguishing it directly doesn't work..."

Shen Minghua stood up, paced around the room, and said thoughtfully: "Let's first figure out why it caught fire. We may be able to find a solution by starting from the source."

Ye Li nodded. Shen Minghua’s method was the best one they could think of at the moment.

Ye Li took a breath and looked up to see Yu Youyou standing in the room.

"Yu Youyou, don't just stand here. If you have nothing to do, go find the villagers and ask them about the Hellfire."

"Oh, okay." Yu Youyou nodded, turned around and wanted to go out, but she turned in the wrong direction in a daze. She smiled embarrassedly at the two of them, changed direction and went out.

Ye Li looked at Yu Youyou's careless appearance and sighed.

It's dangerous outside, but it must be safer in the village.

After Youyou left, Shen Minghua picked up a handkerchief and handed it to Ye Li.

Ye Li took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face.

-

Yu Youyou went downstairs, walked out the door and onto the road.

Ye Li asked her to find out what the villagers were saying, so she walked along the village paths, checking every house.

The trees in the village have turned into ashes, and everything is white.

Animal skulls were hanging sparsely on the branches, and the whole village had a cold and eerie atmosphere.

Yu Youyou put her hands in her pockets, walked and jumped, and looked at the furnishings in the village.

Suddenly, a tile fell from the eaves in front.

Yu Youyou quickly took a step back and looked towards the roof.

There was a white goat on the roof, standing there and staring at Yu Youyou motionlessly.
